Jazz pianist, composer, and producer Ben Miller was born in the Philippines, raised in Peru and upstate New York, and educated in Montreal and New York City. His reverence for jazz and classical tradition resonates in his creative explorations of contemporary harmony.

In addition to leading his own trio, Ben is a member of the Orbiting Human Circus Quartet, Jesse Collins Quartet, Taru Alexander Quartet, and several other bands. He is a former member of the Williamsburg All-Stars at the Williamsburg Music Center in Brooklyn.

Ben has had the privilege of sharing the stage with many acclaimed musicians, including Jesse Collins, Taru Alexander, Julian Koster, Hanka G, Emilio Modeste, Joseph Lepore, Tom DiCarlo, Niklas Lukassen, Miles Griffith, Stanley Banks, Kevin Dean, Adi Meyerson, Ryan Sands, Josh David Barrett, Dominic Duval, Marco Cirigliano, Jake Leckie, Daryl Johns, George Delancey, and the list goes on.

Ben’s forthcoming debut trio album Feathers of Ma’at will be released on June 30, 2023 on Truth Revolution Records. It consists entirely of his own originals and features Taru Alexander on drums and Joseph Lepore on bass. He is also leading a 25-piece ensemble project of his own compositions called Dweller on the Threshold featuring fine talent from Rochester and beyond. For both projects, Ben is heavily involved in the production, from recording to mixing and mastering.

On November 17, 2023, The Orbiting Human Circus Quartet, a jazz project led by indie rock star Julian Koster, will release God’s Many Disguises on Merge Records. Ben joined this band when they recorded music for Julian’s hit fiction podcast The Orbiting Human Circus (of the Air) produced by WNYC Studios and Night Vale Presents.

Ben’s interest in composition and film scoring has led him into the world of digital music production and orchestration. His work as a producer, film composer, and audio engineer has been featured in podcasts such as WNYC Studios and Night Vale Presents’ The Orbiting Human Circus (of the Air), Wondery’s The Next Big Idea, Mensch Media’s Living Downstream, films such as Balk and Farm and Red Moon, as well as in political ads for Priorities USA.
